The Big Budget Christmas Advert does invariably present a vision of Christmas that is alien to many of us. They feature laughing, loving, well-off families who never seem to argue and all have magical Christmases – so far, so realistic, right?

A few months in and with just two weeks to go until our Red Collection Fundraiser (got your ticket yet?) we want to formally introduce the Sister Society team. Especially because we’ve recently grown from two women to three!

With not long to go we’re started to get super excited about our Red Collection Fundraiser on 14th November! Over the coming weeks we’ll be introducing you to a selection of our generous female designers & finding out why they wanted to get involved in this event.

We’re delighted to introduce Kate from the Hove & Portslade branch of the Women’s Equality Party or WEP for short. Now whilst we identify as feminists neither Louisa or I would describe ourselves as particularly political - both having grown disengaged by the mainstream UK parties.
